Together fully alive in Jesus

Sermon January 6, 2013

Ruby Christiansen died this week. To describe her as the little old lady that sat close to the front each week would really understate things. Ruby was a quiet spark plug that held tenaciously to Jesus as her Lord and Saviour. She was clear about her hope in the Resurrection of the dead. Jesus promised that those who place their trust in Him would not perish but have everlasting life and Ruby believed it completely. I’m sad to see Ruby go, several times I phoned her to pray for me when I was going into a sticky situation, I’ll miss her support and steady friendship. But I rejoice that my sister now sees with her eyes what she used to only hope for in her heart. She sees Jesus. That truth has been a great reminder to me as I begin 2013. Run the race like it means something!
